Subject: RE: [RFC][PATCH] pstore: EFI Support

> I would appreciate it if you could review usage of pstore on this patch.

There is an "in flight" set of patches to pstore posted by Chen Gong that
add "open" and "close" operations to the pstore interface (to fix issues with
remounting pstore - we need a way to let the underlying persistent store know
that we want to rescan all the entries).  So you should look at that and take
it into account.
